I'm hoping to get a bit done too now it's quiet, still not sure how strict this lockdown is going to be though

he might have meant them locking on when the brake fluid boils and over-expands, not sure if vented discs would help this or if you'd need carbon/ceramics or those squeaky ones that I forget the name of. This happened to me once just during regular driving, once the brake piston comes out a...

If you swap the bulbs left to right the same issue? the working bulb into the nonworking side, Just to rule out having bought a broken bulb and just to confirm you're taking a reading at the bulb holder with the brake peddle pressed in? fog lights don't always light both sides any melting of...

nice video, liked the intro

I can see at least one rust stain where a washer has previously sat, it's hard to tell if the bracket has moved it may have rotated a bit I can't tell where abouts in the car it is

Do you know where to get new rotors and caps for parts that are not OEM? I bought a whole distributor on ebay when mine broke but didn't realise that they had a different kind of rotor attachment. At first I bought a cap and rotor to try on my nissan part but when they didn't work I bought a...

I believe that reads the chip in your key The chip is RFID and needs to be energised in order for it to work, as opposed to those types of keys that have a battery inside of them. One of those wires will be live for that reason

oh fair, I didn't see the dates At least the issue is sorted now

If they get hot, you can usually clear the condensation by keeping the tail + brake lights on for an hour and the steam will escape through the seal the same way it got in there If not, and the covers are glass, you can remove the bulbs so there is a hole opening into the boot and then use a...

if they're using LEDs they don't get hot so there's not much evaporation, in this case they should be sealed units but it's renault so they just write their cost cutting measures into the manual as features or quirks

To me it sounds like your engine may have flooded and the battery was fine, if a little low 13.9-14.6v is what the battery will read when the alternator is running, or for an hour or so after the car has been shut off and won't be an accurate reading for the amount of charge in the battery. Try...

thought you were singing the friends theme for us I'll be there for you

That's a very odd issue, a battery change should have no effect The only thing I can think of, is that there is dirt built up in the tracks of the gears that the wing mirror motors move to open the mirrors or that the grease had dried up on the runners/friction points. So to begin with they may...

When you say "starting the car" do you mean you are turning the key all the way the minute you put it into the ignition and that the engine turning over is what interrupts the mirrors? If so the massive power drain will be coming from the starter motor, which uses almost all the CCA the battery...

By shutting off do you mean you heard the tone of the engine drop over and over again as it went into the red, or do you mean the car turned off? If it's the second and it'll hold idle but won't rev very high, could be blocked fuel lines/filter reducing fuel pressure

cars are quite wasteful really, they rely on the whole exhaust getting to above the boiling temperature of water to keep the inside dry

That's very odd, I would have thought that the earthing for the lambda sensors was the engine itself have the garage offered a solution?

sometimes they do reset themselves on their own with a certain amount of successful trips, but I'm not sure for certain on this car For example, if the car starts and runs without issues 50 consecutive times the code is lost from the ECU memory without any need for a reset. But, for the sake of...

The weight is what will be in your favour, some websites that let you estimate quarter mile from 0-60 time won't even let you put in a car under 900kg, the weight-reduced kerb weight of a lotus elise basically. A micra with a little weight reduction (seats out) is 700-750kg and 70% of that is...

my bet is on a hair over 13 seconds, send it :P
